Unlock the Power of Homeopathy for MCAS

This post is about using homeopathy for MCAS and other chronic illnesses.

There are many ways to treat Mast Cell Activation (MCAS) and I’ve tried a ton of them! What I’ve learned through all of this trial and error is that what helps me is a combination of allopathic and functional medicine. There is no one cure for MCAS. It took a lot of experimentation to find what works for me, and I can’t give you a formula that will definitely cure your MCAS. However, I’ve got a LOT of experience with different treatment modalities, and I hope by sharing my experience you will find things that work for you!

What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a type of healing that is tailored to the patient.

Homeopathy is a completely individualized alternative healing approach that focuses on the whole person rather than specific symptoms. It utilizes natural substances in energetic forms to activate the body’s natural healing abilities. The body possesses an innate intelligence that knows how to heal itself. By stimulating this healing energy, it can tap into its infinite inner powers to restore health. Homeopathy is safe for individuals of all ages, from infancy to the later stages of life.

Homeopathy for MCAS

Classical Homeopathy is a customized way to treat infections that relies on the body’s own healing potential.

Homeopathy can be a more affordable treatment option for MCAS because it works on multiple levels of healing at the same time, and once the provider finds your specific constitutional remedy it can be effective for healing any symptoms you are experiencing, whether MCAS-related, infection-related, trauma-related, allergies, etc. You might find that you need fewer antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers, and other medications when you are using homeopathy. This is because it is working on your whole body to create balance.

What is MCAS?

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is a chronic condition that affects all organ systems. MCAS is serious and disabling and people with MCAS experience often significant and debilitating symptoms daily, including anaphylaxis, which can be fatal.MCAS is often found in combination with other chronic conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).

Frequently healthcare providers do not know about MCAS, and the tests for MCAS are problematic because they are not uniformly reliable. MCAS can be difficult to manage. Treatments include blocking mast cell mediators with anti-histamines and mast cell stabilizers, as well as avoiding triggers.

Homeopathic remedies

Homeopathic remedies are different from other medicines because they are highly diluted. When you take a more potent homeopathic remedy it is actually more diluted than a weaker remedy.

Remedies are made from natural substances through a process called dynamization that includes diluting the original substance beyond recognition and energizing it to allow it to work energetically. There is no trace of the original substance in the remedy provided to you.

Homeopathic remedies are usually made using a base of milk sugar in little round pellets with the active ingredient on the outside. The remedies can also come in a liquid form and you take drops of the remedy further diluted in water.

Like cures like

Homeopathic pharmacies use ingredients found in nature to create remedies to trigger the body to heal using the tenet “like cures like.” So, if you are experiencing a particular symptom, like nausea, the homeopathic practitioner will look for a remedy that is made of a substance that in its normal state would cause nausea.

Side effects of homeopathy

Homeopathic remedies typically do not carry side effects.

“Do homeopathic remedies have side effects? Not typically. Homeopathic treatments are highly diluted substances and are not likely to cause any side effects.” – Very Well Health

In my experience with homeopathy, sometimes you might experience what is called an aggravation.

“Homeopathic aggravation is a temporary worsening of existing symptoms following the administration of a correct homeopathic prescription.” – Pub Med

Aggravations might occur if you take two doses of your homeopathic remedy too close together, or if you take too high a potency of your remedy. An aggravation will usually resolve on its own after a day or two.

My favorite form of homeopathy for MCAS

My favorite form of homeopathy for MCAS is Energetix. Energetix homeopathic products are prepared according to the HPUS guidelines (Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States) and are formulated to effectively address a wide variety of modern concerns. The pleasant-tasting liquid form of Energetix remedies is easy to dose and use.

Energetix makes three types of homeopathic remedies: Paths, Tones, and Chords.

• Paths – Product names ending in “Path” are for symptoms related to weakness or imbalance in systems, organs, glands, or tissues.
• Tones – Product names ending in “Tone” are for symptoms related to congestion or stress in systems, organs, glands, or tissues.
• Chords – Product names ending in “Chord” are for symptoms related to systems, organs, glands or tissues that are compromised or overburdened by toxins.

With Energetix remedies you are best off combining a Chord with a Tone; the Chord addresses toxicity in the body, while the Tone provides drainage support to excrete the toxins. Paths can be taken without the support of a Tone.

Here is my list of go-to Energetix Remedies for MCAS.

Relax Tone is one of my favorite supports for restlessness and sleep

Relief Tone is helpful for addressing injuries and trauma

Hypothamalapath – assists with neuropathy, concussion, brain fog, sleep, and hot flashes

Metabopath – supports the Krebs cycle and metabolism

Lymph-Tone II assists with detoxing chronic issues

Lymph-Tone III is helpful in detoxing issues due to hypersensitivities and neuropathy

Metabopath supports the Krebs cycle and aids metabolism

BioCatalin Lotion – is for joint and muscle pain and sciatica

It is important to pair Chords with Tones, so if you would like help choosing remedies for your specific situation please schedule a session with me for individualized support. Click here to schedule a session.

The bucket theory

The bucket theory offers a helpful analogy for understanding symptom reactions with MCAS.Think of your body as an empty bucket that you want to keep from overflowing. Different foods and activities fill your histamine bucket at different speeds but they combine to form the total level of histamine in your body (how full your bucket is). A fuller bucket means you have more histamine symptoms. When you manage triggers, reduce exposure to known triggers, and take medications and supplements to reduce histamine, you can manage the level of your bucket.

Know your typical symptom progression

Knowing your symptom progression in a symptom flare is the key to developing your own rescue plan. In this post, I discuss how to determine your own symptom progression. Once you know what typically happens in your symptom progression you can design a rescue plan to address those symptoms.

Homeopathy for mental health

Homeopathy is also a gentle and effective way to treat mental health issues.

I’ve found that my constitutional remedy works on all levels at once. So, if I am experiencing my MCAS symptom progression, and I take my homeopathic remedy it will alleviate all of the symptoms I’m having, whether physical or mental.

I also love to use Energetix homeopathic remedies when I am having a specific type of symptom. It calms my system so that I’m less reactive to my MCAS triggers.
